Thank you for stopping by and leaving encouraging words. The only thing anyone of us can do is CHIP AWAY at our goals. I am learning that these things do not happen over night and the more obstacles you have then the more opportunities you have to build your art or poetry AROUND those things that you think may slow you down. Our current U.S. poet laureate, Philip Levine did just that. While working 9-5 in car factories in Detroit, he started to write his poetry about the common worker. His poetry today is now considered almost a genre of its own. So maybe there is hope for a teacher like me to find her wings....

AND AN ARTIST LIKE YOU AS WELL!!! Have a splendid day my sweet friend! Anita

This is so beautiful. It made me smile.I'm glad your days are lovely. What kind of job will you get? I hope you get a new job. You'll do fine. You are always so positive.I'm done with my exams. They went well. I went riding with Floyd on Thursday night. I think it is absolutely unfair that I like him so much! :) It's been only 4 months since we started going on dates. What shall I do if he asks me to be his gf?..I'll die in happiness.

Good morning Poppie Girl :)I do hope your week is off to a great start!Oh, I love this post! Always wonderful images paired with your sincere words.Yes, if we could all SHOW love daily that would be divine!Oooo I want a pie, lol!I need to get on making a pumpkin pie. I did make pumpkin pancakes last night. They were so good. I put carmel and pecans on the top :)

How I love that last image - such gorgeous colours all together. Such a lovely message too. For me, nothing says love more than a surprise cupcake - except maybe if it is accompanied by a glass of bubbles?!

I love your new header! And what a fabulous idea here, although I am much better with cookies than pies! :)Have a great weekend ~Nathaliep.s. i have a giveaway on until Sunday night if you have a chance to stop by !
